Calling all stage iv sisters

I guess I'm not really that long term yet, but here goes: I got scan results back today - there's still inactive scarring in my bones (T10/11), but otherwise, I got a clean scan - nothing in the organs, and brain is clean, too.

I feel blessed and very, very grateful. I have been on Herceptin / Perjeta / Xgeva only since July 2014, and can at this point lead a perfectly normal life (except for treatment every 3 weeks, and scans). When I was first diagnosed I felt like I needed to get my things in order immediately. Now, I am hoping I will still see my daughter have her first double digit birthday in 3 1/2 years.

One day at a time. Life is good.

Hello everyone, I am so glad that this thread is still going. I have just had a read over right from the first post. I am feeling sad to see how many we have lost since then, but also buoyed by how many of us are still here.

I am currently NED, and have been this time around for around 20 months. On Herceptin only.

Best wishes and hugs to everyone!

Dawn. Xxxxx
